Fidson Healthcare Plc, a pharmaceutical company in Nigeria, has bagged the Environmental Management System (EMS) certification in compliance with the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 14001:2015, the world’s most widely recognised standard for EMS, which minimises the impact of the company’s operations, activities, products and services on the environment.
EMS is intended for utilisation by organisations seeking to manage their environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability while maintaining an eco-friendly environment.
Presenting the certification at Fidson’s corporate head office in Lagos, CEO and Managing Partner, 4 Quarters Consultancy Limited, a support firm on EMS certification, Samuel Sawah, said Fidson received the certification having met all specified requirements that must be deployed in enhancing environmental performance.
Sawah said ISO 14001:2015 ensures an organisation achieves the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provide value for the environment, the organisation itself and other interested parties in consistency with the organisation’s environmental policy. These management systems include the enhancement of environmental performance, fulfilment of compliance obligations and achievement of environmental objectives.
Responding, Managing Director, Fidson Healthcare Plc, Dr. Fidelis Ayebae, thanked the body for the certification and noted that the company’s commitment to maintaining the EMS standards is not only to enhance its environmental performance and manage legal compliance to environmental responsibilities, but also to set the pace for other manufacturing companies by demonstrating its commitment to humanity and environmental preservation.
